It was Earth Day this week. We brainstormed and learned ways we can make the Earth a healthier place to live. The kids immediately thought of recycling, composting and picking up trash outside, all of which they we very adamant about doing all week. They also thought of riding their bikes or walking, and as the week continued we talked about using less water, turning lights off, and planting trees and flowers. The kids journaled about the ways they would make the Earth a healthier place.
We spent a few days up in NoseHIll Park, climbing, running, exploring, journaling and discovering. We took our journals up NoseHill and drew/wrote about the purple, yellow and white flowers we saw. We were lucky enough to find pellets, possibly from a hawk. What a neat learning experience
We reused cardboard tubes to paint with and made Earth Da”lava lamps” minus the lamp part. We also made Earth Day Oobleck; a non-newtonian substance. It’s a solid and a liquid!
Our letters this week were X and Y.
